It would have been nice if they&#39;d used some of those subscription fees to send an announcement.<br /><br />My high speed internet isn&#39;t really all that high, so RaceBuddy&#39;s video feed doesn&#39;t work all that well. The RaceView &quot;cartoon cars&quot; that some complain about are just fine for me. If my connection is real bad, sometimes they drive through the infield and mix it up with the fans in the stands. I laugh a bit and then switch to scanner only, which is what I like the best anyway. <br /><br />I&#39;m happy to have TrackPass for Nationwide as long as it&#39;s included in the price and they don&#39;t charge separately. I&#39;ll be really pleased if they follow that by bringing it to the truck races.Ginnynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-67043150885125121942011-07-27T20:47:21.278-04:002011-07-27T20:47:21.278-04:00A few years back I watched the cartoon cars on the...A few years back I watched the cartoon cars on the computer. One of them went off the track and right through a building in the infield. I can&#39;t believe after offering Race Buddy, nascar.com/BSPN would even show animation when the real thing is available. They need to get out of Pong age.Dothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15701502016993312530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-87352621832653357572011-07-27T18:02:49.849-04:002011-07-27T18:02:49.849-04:00Did the NFL NBA or MLB ever consider cartoon rendi...Did the NFL NBA or MLB ever consider cartoon renditions of their live games for viewing online?<br /><br />Here is a serious suggestion. If NASCAR wants to improve the sport, find some way of letting the viewers listen to their driver through the tv instead of the broadcasts, like direct tv did a few years ago. I would be more willing to put up with commercials and seeing the front runners so much if I was thrown a bone and allowed to listen to my driver. As of now I am paying $60+ a year to do just that.<br /><br />Another suggestion for the broadcasters networks, taken from my kids Mario racing video game, show the car numbers going around the edge of the screen in the order they are racing and in relative distance from each other, let me be able to see where my driver is at a glance, not stare at the slow ticker for 60 seconds only to have the restart it or take it away for an in car or commercial.Williamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09593912976233593640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-52464778699520245722011-07-27T17:43:18.128-04:002011-07-27T17:43:18.128-04:00Wish it would have been RaceBuddy instead of Track...Wish it would have been RaceBuddy instead of TrackPass.

We get that same thing but with fewer cameras with the Speed Truck races and even when Speed televised a Nationwide race last year. But if any of this is on FOX or ESPN we get a cartoon?

I&#39;m not into the cartoon cars either. But it does allow me to listen to the scanners and follow drivers positions on the track better than the ticker on the screen and I can listen during the commercials.<br /><br />I&#39;m glad to hear that they are offering this as a trial for the Nationwide series and hopefully for the trucks for those folks who follow the series more closely than I do.GinaV24http://www.blogger.com/profile/08428501118097469128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-85872142678625979852011-07-27T00:42:23.644-04:002011-07-27T00:42:23.644-04:00I&#39;ll check it out when they have it for N&#39;...I&#39;ll check it out when they have it for N&#39;wide.<br /><br />I use to have a subscription but they recently started charging for it. Eons ago, they had it free for cable internet subscribers but they&#39;ve stopped it. I think it went to $9 a month &amp; don&#39;t have the money right now to do the yearly thing. I might look into getting it later when I have a few extra bucks especially if they add to it. But had to pass on the increase right now. <br /><br />It was nice to be able to access PRN/MRN especially the Dover races since they&#39;re delayed for the Pick &#39;em Ups. As well as the driver radios.Gymmiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00709045839011509992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-80063231673219535732011-07-27T00:36:43.854-04:002011-07-27T00:36:43.854-04:00Cartoon cars?

I tried the Preview feature and it worked. Do you happen to know that if the Preview works for me now, it means the real Track Pass will work on Saturday with the setup I tried it on. My main operating system is Firefox 3.6.18 and it worked fine for the Preview.<br /><br />I am looking forward to trying out Track Pass Race View.<br />Thanks Turner/Nascar.comCharliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03003781121938153072noreply@blogger.com
